piano composition books

wow, this week has FLOWN by!  Can't believe it's already Saturday AGAIN!  Playing catch up with sleep, kids, housework, scrapping and posting here.  I've been playing with the new Remember this kit from Scrapbook Circle--it is beyond AMAZING! (I believe it is close to being sold out, so if your interested,  jump on it!)  Lisa restocked the add on--TWICE that's how popular this kit has been.  I have to tell you I know that there will be add ons in the future as well so STAY tuned.
Wanted to switch gears a bit...a few weeks ago my kids came home from piano with a note from the piano teacher tell me they needed new note books.  So I went to the store, and I looked.  I don't like spiral bound notebooks the wire seems to come out and catch on things...So, I looked at the composition books and an idea started to form.  Yes, I'm one of those moms:

Using paper from my stash (that I've been hoarding!) I created beautiful little books that each of my kids just LOVE!

Here are a few closeups:

I wanted the profile of the books to be low so that NOTHING standing up on the front would catch and tear...What is really cute is that they are being SO careful as they put them in the bag.  They REALLY like them! :)  They were so fun and EASY to put together!  I grabbed a few other books so that if there was an upcoming birthday I could make more!
I'm off catching up!  Thanks SO much for the visit today!
